Conservationists warned on Monday that Hong Kong may lose its rare Chinese white dolphins, also known as pink dolphins for their unique colour, unless it takes urgent action against pollution and other threats.

"We're 99 per cent certain the calf died from toxins in the mother's milk, accumulated from polluted seawater," said Hong Kong Dolphinwatch spokeswoman Janet Walker, who added it was the third such incident reported in April alone.

And not because they are born underwater where there is no air to breathe. That would never happen.

Would be a damned shame. Saw a mother and calf myself from my parents' boat a few decades ago, bizarrely in about the most polluted place in Hong Kong, Hebe Haven. Swam alongside our boat for a little while, and we guided them back out into deep water, then they swam off.

If your nickname is accurate and this is a fair representation of your reasoning abilities, it would explain an awful lot about the United States of America.

Goodbye, pink dolphins.

QFT. They've basically destroyed every other piece of the environment, why would the Chinese stop now?

Aww, but pink dolphins are the tastiest dolphins. I really hate dolphin free tuna, it just does not taste as good as what I remember from my childhood. When men were men and everything in the sea was food.

I grew up on lantau island and took the boat every day to school. Saw them once!Pollution has beeen getting worst before 97, and the coastal development is insane. A disney land was placed right infront of the Bay where I lived and shoots fireworks every single night. I'm sure the dolphins find "It's a small world after all" more frightening than whatever the airport can spew.

Since about 8years ago, a BLUE SKY IS AS RARE AS A BLUE MOON! That's a better benchmark than those pink dolphins.
